But we're talking here about his thoughts and feelings - things like feeling unloved and worthless because of the way he was treated, and that sort of thing).
Stevenstwin -
I understand your position. From what you are telling me, it seems like the evidence rules are a little different where you are. In Mass, a foster parents should not be allowed to testify as to the Child's thoughts, feelings or statements. That is classic hearsay and not admissible. If the attorney wanted to get that information in - he would have to call the child to testify.
and I totally understand that you chose to protect your son. I didn't really mean to suggest that you did the wrong thing - but that the therapist should not be giving legal advice.
In any event - it sounds like it worked out well for you.
Congratulations.
